PDP National Chairman Uche Secondus
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday adopted former member of the House of Representives Bello Matawallen-Maradun as its governorship candidate in Zamfara.
It was learned that Matawallen-Maradun emerged through consensus after stakeholders of the party unanimously adopted him at a meeting in Gusau.
As stated by reports, the other aspirant, Senator Sahabi Ya’u was pressured to withdraw from the race.
“We are happy our party is having only two aspirants for governorship position in the state, unlike the other party that has about 10 governorship aspirants,” chieftain of the PDP, Gen. Aliyu Gusau, who presented the candidate to party members, said.
”But now due to the consensus following the intervention of elders all of us agree that one of the candidate will contest for the seat.”
